16 Best Cocktail Bars near Bradenton Beach

“Great place for drinks, come by boat all the time.“

“We stopped here for dinner, after a day on the beach. The food was delicious along with the Beachside cocktail. But…. the highlight of our dinner was Collin. His contagious smile and fun personality made us feel like we were having dinner with a long-time friend. He kept us laughing and took excellent care of us. The Beach House is very blessed to have Collin as a part of your team. He truly went above and beyond to make our entire experience excellent. We jokingly told Collin that we came to the island looking for a sugar daddy. After meeting him, we would consider becoming sugar mamas :)“

Felt fully welcomed and comfortable with the service. Plus your food its menu and its prep was amazing. I will be back when ever we are in town again. Or better yet become neighbors. Thank you again from the Santos Fam. PS my kid loved the Crab legs“

“This place does not disappoint. You get what you pay for from service, to food and drinks. Make a reservation there was a line before it opened. Keep checking back online as it was booked two days before I went but the night before I was able to make a reservation. I can not say enough good things about this place. Best recommendation my exgf gave me was to try this place. 😊“

“In reference to our dinner last evening April 18, 2026. The seating for our table of 7, was very tight seating. The Mrs. and I had the Bolognese, hers was gluten free, both of us had a terrible night sleeping with many bathroom issues. Additionally, I was surprise to see on top of the $200. cash tip I provided, there was an additional tip of over $100.00 added to the check. The waitress that was extremely nice, did not make me aware that there was a tip already added to the check, resulting in a tip of over $300. which in my opinion is a little overboard.“

Kate immediately attended to us and quickly cleared and sat a table for 9, even though they were really busy. Brian was our server and handled our service and he was excellent as well. Yummy food with a friendly atmosphere topped our evening! Thanks again Lazy Lobster in LONGBOAT key!!!!“

“Don't have an attitude? the host or Hostess will happily give you one. I would buy this restaurant just to fire them. Local? they'll treat you like a tourist which you would think they would be good to because they are the suckers they are dying to get in. " Hi how long for 2 people"? an hour to an hour and a half out of season.... no "I'm sorry, the wait is over an hour" nope you get "Fair enough" when you say you don't want to wait that long. no reservations yet some dude with a party of 4 just walked right in and was seated.... over rated is an understatement. AVOID ...NOT WORTH IT. Possibly the most overrated restaurant in an area of bad restaurants“

“Would love some music or entertainment , nothing grand, just pleasant upbeat jazz(no elevator music). thanks for asking. You're happy hours are a treat for seniors...don't count us out!“

“Great place .Food is great.SRVIVE is fantastic.“
